Diagnosed with DCIS: How do I decide on treatment?

Hi all. I had to wait several weeks to get my second round of tests at the breast center in Hackensack (NJ) and these people are serious! 40 minutes in Mammography, 45 minutes in Ultrasound and then the doctor came in and scanned again! Then 2 biopsies for my right breast and 1 for my left. That was Wednesday. Then today I had stereotactic biopsies for both breasts. I was in the lab for over 2 hours. Again, these folks are serious. I’m home now with ice packs on my boobies and wanted to say that I had all these tests done in my hometown and what a difference! So far, they found several abnormalities in both breasts (not “just” one) that my doctors at home never saw at all. I’m so glad I went for a second opinion at a serious breast center. I’ll find out next Thursday what the results are when I see my second-opinion doctor again. I’ll let you know. Good health and well-wishes to all!

@tctredwell1, I bet you're glad that you went for a second opinion. Rest well after such a busy few days. I'll look forward to your update after Thursday.
